Abstract:
Wearable technology has become increasingly popular in recent years, with applications ranging from fitness tracking to healthcare monitoring. One promising area of application is elderly care, where wearable technology can support independent living and enhance quality of life. This paper provides an overview of wearable technology for elderly care, including the types of devices available, the benefits and challenges of using them, and examples of products and services currently on the market. Key benefits of wearable technology for elderly care include increased safety and security, improved health monitoring and management, and enhanced independence. However, challenges such as privacy and security concerns, user acceptance, and technical limitations must also be addressed. This paper concludes by emphasizing the potential of wearable technology for elderly care and encouraging further research and development in this area.
